Interview Preparation Tips
College Name: IIT Madras
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: It included quantitative ability questions and a few subjective coding type questions. Nothing known about cutoff as almost major chunk of people appearing for the test were called for the interview.The criteria for test is mainly on CGs and at timesdepartments too.There are rare companies like BCG, DB who actually refer your resumes for interviews without tests.
Duration: 1 hour minute
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 2 rounds of interview were there – first the technical interview which included questions on your resume. Detailed questionson every point you have mentioned, cross checking whether you really know aboutit at times asking you for examples. No speed math was included. The interview was purely on all the stuff mentioned in the resume.
Tips: Study the resume thorough with every point mentioned. Questionswere asked about things externally related (not in the resume) to stuffmentioned as part of skills. So while exaggerating any point be aware of everyfact about it.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview included personal level questions like tell me about yourself, where you hail from, positives, negatives, why cognizant, why non-core, how do you see yourself after 2-3 years etc.The second stage may depend upon GDs or interviews. In this case it was purely one –on-one interview in both rounds.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Mentioned about R a tool used in analytics and was talked about linear and logistic regression. Questions about Big Data Analysis and hadoop etc were asked.
General Tips: Its better to start from August solving CAT papers which helps a lot. Purefin certifications do help for companies like DB, Futures First, Nomura and all. Read only quantitative and a few previous years’ case studies (googled as per the company). Read one to two cases everyday and discussions related to them on the internet and write relevant points in some notebook at times searching for terms or phrases. Read the newspaper daily be it times or even the economic times – know whats happening in the world. They may ask you questions like – whats happening in the world. Be sure to answer them with what they would like to hear rather than what you would like to talk on.The situation is better for non core companies because majority of them don’t see the word department while recruiting from iit. Both for non-core or core: give your best for every round andeven if you don’t get selected for first round you can try to push your resumein on spot interview calls for companies you really want to be part of.Although it isn’t fair play but that’s what happens from Placemnt season day 2.And if the rest do it there's no point regretting than to be a part of it.

- Q10. Queried about location constraints
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: It involved
assessing how I approached the problem, which particular questions I
will ask the owner, what will be the level of granular detail collection
with every step. The interview round went on for 20 – 25 minutes
and interviewer wished me luck for further rounds.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: more focus was laid on my prior work experience. Within 2 minutes of my first round, I was called for next one.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was
with a Delivery Manager who asked me no technical questions. Seemed more
of a personality interview.
The informal discussion lasted for 10 minutes & at the end, manager smilingly welcomed me to Cognizant family
Round: Stress Interview
Experience: Last but not the least, it was HR round. He read through my application
form and queried about location constraints. I readily convinced him on
my willingnesss, still it felt like a Stress interview. He informed me
about the other joining formalities and confirmed the offer.
Parts of the Interview I did well at :
Cracking round 1 was the key to get selected in CBC. Maintaining
self-composure and properly listening to the questions before answering
anything sailed me through.Parts of the Interview I didn’t do well at :
HR round went in a bit of hurry. I think it was meant to be that way.Final Verdict : Offered Consultant role at Cognizant Business Consulting
General Tips: This was my very first shortlist during finals and I was all the more
nervous of cracking this one. The actual process started before the
company was on campus. They had a online video interview asking
questions like ” What are your strengths & weaknesses?” to be
answered in a minute. It was an elimination round as campus round
shortlist was reduced to almost one-third.
Do not take video interview round lightly. Many of my peers mistook it
to be a non-elimination round and missed on the opportunity of sitting
through campus rounds.
